Ebase list readers,

The sulfnbk 'virus' is a hoax.  It can be looked up on the www.sarc.com web 
site (that's the folks that do Norton Antivirus) or others.  At 
www.sarc.com it's at:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html

Please do NOT delete this file from your hard drive.  It's a Windows system 
file that relates to long file names.  You'll have to find a new copy if 
you do delete it.

Regards,
